Consumer Product Information DatabaseBackground: Disclosing chemical ingredients in products provides essential information throughout the supply chain from raw material supplier to consumers. InforĀmation about the ingredients of
products and their health effects allow conĀsumers to make better informed choices.The development of this database was initiated in 1994 by DeLima Associates of McLean, Virginia, USA in response to a need for a database (identified by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention), that related household product types, brand names, chemical constituents, health-related information (acute and chronic effects and target organs), and exposure minimization techniques. This database is currently supported by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
